old kill switch and wiring missing.I have had to re wire a lot had a hundred wires that didn't go to anything under the center console. I picked up the boat cheap for a little bit of fishing. I am retired. I looked for bran new harnesses or used but not abused and could not find any could not find any oems for it either. They had cut all the plugs off the harness. so any help would be great.

i would suggest getting a service manual
there should be a number of pages that you will find that contain wiring diagrams and the color coding

Thanks Art, I have one but so far no luck. going to have to try a different wire off the ignition. I hope it is not the kill switch as it is a bran new ignition.
Thanks anyway.

I don’t have your manual but this is what you may look for

off the back of the ignition switch there is either one or two green wires
one green goes to the wire harness the 2nd to the kill switch
the black off the back of the ignition switch also goes to the harness
the wiring diagram indicates a second black spliced into that one then goes to the black wire on the kill switch
that make sense i to you?
